I'm a musician and a scholar, hockey nut, golf enthusiast and baseball fan. I'm looking for connection, a companion, and would much rather my future family life be a little bit more like the Huxtable's and a little less like the Bluth's. I'm laid back and mild mannered but strong willed and always try to make sure to be rational above everything else. Don't worry though, I can be fiery when I need to, it's not just my hair that's that way.

On our first date I'll most likely poke fun at you in some way with a wry smile and a wink. I'm not good at winking though, so you'll probably make fun of me back. Then we'll laugh and sip our drinks. It will be great and not at all awkward or contrived.

Also, I have a dry sense of humor.

Also also, looking at Leonard Maltin makes me giggle. It's always better when people are funny by accident. He might be the best at it.

What I’m doing with my life

I work full time as a composer and play in a band. I absolutely love what I do and couldn't imagine having taken a different career path. Hopefully I can continue to have growth in my music and still have the balance to enjoy my free time.

In that free time I like playing and watching sports, trying new beers and whiskeys, and spending as much time as I can with the people who matter to me.

I’m really good at

Honestly? Piano. Listening. Random statistics. Baking chocolate chip cookies. Making my lists look like many small incomplete sentences. Knowing the song I'm listening to but not remembering enough of the lyrics to sing along.

The first things people usually notice about me

Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger. I'm actually the height I say I am...no lying.

Music: Everyone says they like everything so I'll just say what I listened to last. Last 3 bands were Neon Trees, Imagine Dragons, New Politics, and before that my John Williams soundtrack mix.

Food: I'm the best Jew ever - my favorite foods are lobster, chicken parm and bacon. I like other things too, don't worry...although I have the cilantro soap gene. I can't handle it. Stop making fun of me!

The six things I could never do without

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Recently my day to day life. The last few months have involved a lot of transition in my professional life and I'm still settling in. I think about my writing a lot.

On a typical Friday night I am

Either hanging with friends or family usually. Sometimes I'm playing shows, which also means hanging with friends. There's usually bourbon or some beer involved.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I wish my life had a soundtrack.

You should message me if

I mean who am I to control that? I'm looking for someone I connect with, preferably Jewish or non-religious. I like a bit of a challenge so I want to be with someone who excites me and keeps me on my toes.
